**Check out this letter from a soldier stationed in Afghanistan!** “My name is SPC Michael Stanfield and Im with the 1049th Transportation Comapany with the Delaware Army National Guard deployed to Afghanistan. Today I recieved your package containing 1250 letters from schools and people back home whom Ive never met before. I opened the package and started reading some of the letters and I must admit I was a little overwhelmed and it gave me a new sense of motivation for the rest of this deployment. It is easy to wonder if anybody cares back home while you are serving in a place like Afghanistan but those letters really put things into perspective and give me hope for the future for when Im long out of the military it will be the same kids that wrote those letter who will pick up where myself and my fellow soldiers have left off. We are all thankful for those who are thankful for what we do and are willing to do. Your package has turned a what would have been just a lonely holiday season away from family and friends into a lonely holiday season away from family and friends with meaning. I really appreciate everything you do for us troops. SPC Michael Stanfield Deployed from Afghanistan”

= [|Shout Out to Soldiers] =

October 24th, 2011 For a couple days in school we have been writing letters to soldiers. I think it was very thoughtful to do that and if I was a soldier out at sea with nothing to do but talk, practice things and do push ups, I would probably cry if I got a letter from someone. I would be so happy! This is what I was thinking as I wrote these. If there are any soldiers that just-so-happen to be reading this, I want to say thank you and that I know that everyone appreciates what you are doing. Thank you. Also, if you do read this, let me just say that would be SUPER COOL!
